SUISUN CITY, Calif - Every December since 2006, holiday wreaths are placed on grave sites at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon. The wreaths are purchased and placed by The Wreath Project.

The community group has been able to place wreaths on every grave site, one of the few veterans cemeteries in the nation to achieve that goal. To continue the tradition, the group will need to purchase 9,000 wreaths.

Wreaths will be placed during a ceremony at 9 a.m. Saturday, December 10, 2011. The cemetery is located at 5810 Midway Road in Dixon. >> Map

Increases in the past have ensured the water
service is in good financial shape. Recognizing the tough economic
conditions, a general rate increase was delayed for two and a half

emergency rate schedule to be imposed in the event of a declared water
